NOVEL NEXT Chapter 18: ch 18: DWARF WEAPONS
A pair of malicious eyes stared at the Dark Knight. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the branches, gradually revealing the owners of those eyes. They were old, ugly dwarves, less than a meter tall, resembling little monsters. A quick glance revealed there were seven of them!
These were the seven dwarves.
However, these seven dwarves were nothing like the cute ones from fairy tales. They looked more like grotesque little monsters.
Their malicious eyes, brimming with hostility, didn't hide their disgust for the Dark Knight or, more precisely, for all humanoid creatures!
"Kill him!"
One of the dwarves shouted viciously.
In an instant, a group of dwarves sprang into action—some moved stones, while others readied their slingshots.
The next moment, a flurry of attacks rained down on the Dark Knight.
Boom!
The Dark Knight, still seated, didn't even bother to stand. Remaining in place, he delivered a single punch, shattering the largest stone mid-air. The force of his strike created a gust of wind that swept away the surrounding "bullets" and other projectiles.
Moments later, the Dark Knight rose to his feet. Towering nearly two meters tall, his pitch-black metallic form exuded an overwhelming presence. Even the largest human men would feel their hearts race in fear,let alone the dwarves, who stood less than a meter tall.
"Bang!"
The Dark Knight crushed the ground beneath his foot and charged forward at a speed entirely disproportionate to his massive frame.
Along the way, the seven dwarves continued their relentless attacks.
However, every strike landed harmlessly on the Dark Knight, producing nothing more than a series of metallic clangs,there was no other effect.
"Swish!"
With a sound like the air being torn apart, a long sword was suddenly pulled out by the Dark knight.As another big stone rushed straight to the Dark knight 's face, it was split into two the moment it approached.
The next moment, with an astonishing force of five tons, the high-temperature molten sword in his hand was raised high, and then a brutal sword was chopped down.
Boom!!!!
The ground trembled violently as the devastating blow landed, splitting the earth with a crack over a meter wide.
A dwarf who was unfortunate enough to be hit was instantly split into two by the sword.
Seeing this scene, Rock's mouth curled up with an inexplicable arc. The origins of these seven dwarfs are indeed very unusual. Although they seem to be on the side of justice in the original book,in the book,these seven little dwarfs made the queen unwilling to face them head-on.
Although It was unclear why these odd little creatures displayed such intense hostility toward h the moment they appeared. However, it didn't matter. Since they were already enemies, there was no need for idle conversation.
As One dwarf was killed,the others instantly became stunned.
Rock did not hesitate at all. While the dwarfs were still stunned, he quickly attacked again, swung out with a sword, and cut another dwarf in half.
This time, the other dwarves were no longer stunned. They snapped out of their shock from the deaths of their companions and turned their gazes toward the Dark Knight, filled with irreconcilable hatred.
One of the dwarves, his face twisted with resentment, gritted his teeth and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a special looking golden slingshot.
The moment the golden slingshot appeared, Rock felt a sudden, inexplicable sense of dread and he immediately became alert.
The dwarf loaded a golden "bullet" into the slingshot and, without a moment's hesitation, fired it at the Dark Knight.
Rock, who was already alert, almost subconsciously chopped it with a sword.
Bang!!!!
The sound of a massive explosion rang out, like a grenade detonating.
At the epicenter of the blast, Rock was forced backward, retreating nearly ten steps as the high-temperature molten sword in his hand trembled violently. A small but noticeable gap had appeared on the sword.
The moment Rock saw this scene, His eyes suddenly shrank.
This high-temperature molten sword was a product of Oscorp's top-tier technology. It could withstand the explosion of a rocket without sustaining damage,yet this slingshot had managed to create a gap in it.
Something is wrong, that slingshot is very wrong!
Is this why the queen is also afraid of these dwarfs?
The next moment, Rock's face became even more solemn.
He saw that the remaining four dwarves drew their own golden weapons. One wielded a dagger, another a shield, while a third carried a musket.
Without fear, the Dark knight held the sword in his hand horizontally, and a red light was reflected in his eyes. Holes opened on his chest, arms, and other positions. He confronted the dwarfs from a distance. Between them, a sense of solemnity gradually rose.
"STOP!"
"Don't fight!"
Though it seemed like a long time had passed,but in reality only a brief moment had elapsed since the dwarves appeared and Rock launched his attack. Snow White finally reacted, rushing between the two sides in an attempt to stop them.
Her strange, conceptual ability to force goodwill spread instantly. The murderous intent that had consumed both Rock and the dwarves disappeared without a trace.
Snow White glanced at the Dark Knight, then at the dwarves,particularly the two fallen ones. Her crystal-clear eyes suddenly became hazy with tears.
"Why, Dark Knight, you are obviously a good person, why did you kill them?"
Dark knight remained motionless, Rock was too lazy to explain.
He had never provoked these dwarves, yet they seem to inexplicably harbored a strong malice toward him. It was likely they despised any human who approached them.
If there is malice, just kill them, there is no need for nonsense.
As if understanding Dark Knight's silence, Snow White bit her lip and turned to the dwarves. The malice they had held toward human life had now completely vanished, their ferocious expressions replaced with calm.
Snow White whispered to the dwarves for a moment. Though their expressions showed lingering reluctance, they eventually nodded to her. Two of the dwarves picked up their fallen companions and carried them into the depths of the forest.
Snow White stayed behind, looked at Dark Knight with some disappointment before following the dwarfs. During the whole process, Dark Knight remained motionless.
Lost? Sad?
Bullshit, how could such a thing exist?
Snow White's disappointment had no effect on Rock at all. Rock was just thinking about the strange golden weapons of the dwarfs.
"Dwarves, strange weapons, are they related to the common dwarves in the Western fantasy world?"
Suddenly, Rock's expression changed and his eyes fell on one place.
He saw that at the place where the two dwarves died before, there were two strange things like light spots floating.
Rock walked forward and touched them.
The two light spots instantly fell into his hands, and a familiar light curtain appeared out of thin air.
